Synopsis

This book introduces a new method of topographical surveying, which determines the relative positions of points on the Earth's surface by projecting a system of points upon a tangent plane. It allows for the measurement of the lengths of the projecting normals, most commonly referred to as leveling. The method has been known and in use since 1852, and has gained immense popularity in fields such as mining, engineering, military strategy, and any activity that could benefit from an accurate, scaled representation of the ground. This book provides an in-depth explanation of this method.
